Kong Laoer said he wanted to "eat without saying anything." However, Chinese people in later generations were the nation that liked to talk about things at the dinner table the most in the world. Qian Yuan went to business in the past, and at the beginning he relied on drinking to grab a few orders.

Although this was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, all scholars regarded Confucius as a sage, few people followed this.

A conservative scholar like Qian Zheng also talked endlessly at the dinner table. Of course, he didn't talk much, but today he was explaining what he needed to pay attention to when he was having an exam.

"Nanjing is not cold in August, but in February... Basically all rooms are ventilated. Don't bring more bedding in and be careful to be carried out. There was a room next to me who was frozen..."

"After entering, check if the top is leaking... oil paper, oil umbrella and so on must be prepared. It rained the second time that year, but fortunately I nailed oil paper in advance."

Qian Yuan was eating bitelessly, only nodding repeatedly.

"Okay." Lu said angrily from the side: "Let Yuan'er have a good meal... You only participated in an exam and thought you were very experienced."

Qian Zheng was so confused by this sentence that he couldn't let Duke Zhenchuan teach him... He has experience, but he is not afraid of being stained with bad temper!

Just three days ago, Gui Youguang came to visit Qian Zheng. This was his sixth time in Beijing to take the exam. In history, he had to wait. Nine years later, Jiajing was lucky enough to pass the third-level Jinshi in 44 years. At that time, he was already 61 years old.

He is full of knowledge and knowledge. The name of the master of Neo-Confucianism is spread all over the world, but he just has no hope of getting a degree...

"Don't eat too much. Go back and go to bed early later. You have to get up in the middle of the night to prepare. Then eat some more at that time." Qian Zheng looked very experienced, but most of the things he said were common sense that almost everyone knew.

Qian Yuan turned his head and smiled, "Uncle, don't be nervous. This subject is not good, so I'll wait for another three years... By the way, if I don't win, I'll go back to the southeast. I guess my mother and younger sister will not come to Beijing."

"What are you saying a disgusting thing?" Lu's eyebrows stood up, "Hetan Gong was a county, government, hospital, and provincial examination. He went to the provincial examination and passed the imperial examinations all the way, without stopping. The outside world said that you, Qian Zhancai, Xiao Great-Emperor, don't be embarrassed."

As soon as these words were said, Qian Zheng and Qian Yuan both twitched.

Qian Yuan, the great-grandfather of Hetan, said this in Huating County seven or eight years ago. On the one hand, it refers to Qian Yuan's reputation as a young talented man, and on the other hand, it refers to Qian Yuan's sarcastic eloquence.

If others said this at that time, they were still mixed with praise and criticism. Now they said this... they only refer to Qian Yuan's mouth. Although he has not yet entered the officialdom, his achievements have far exceeded his great-grandfather.

Qian Zheng stopped talking, but instead of Lu’s nagging, “It’s said that the palace examination is March 15th, but the examination is February 15th, and the results will be released at the end of February. The Xu family... Yuan'er, you have to give a letter of approval!"

"The Xu family sent people to measure the size of Suiyuan a few days ago, and they were all building furniture to prepare for dowry. Yuan'er, what are you planning?"

"Our Qian family has a bad family. They are only for money when they are officials, but your uncle refuses to accept the regular routine..."

Qian Yuan chewed a piece of meat and said vaguely: "My uncle is honest and can definitely leave his name in history."

"Qingfeng's sleeves are facing the sky, so as not to talk too much." Qian Zheng stroked his long beard and smiled and nodded, "How dare he compare with Yu Shaobao."

Qian Yuan was stunned for a moment. The idiom "The Idiom of "Qingfeng with Two Sleeves" comes from Yu Qian?

"Okay, master, can you compare with Yu Shaobao?" Lu was not polite at all. "Although Yu Shaobao is a civil servant, he is also a civil servant and has a talent for the world. However, Yuan'er may be..."

Qian Zheng was both angry and laughed. His nephew and Yingxing candy shops from the Wang family in Taicang were everywhere. He had been running a restaurant for less than two months and earned money every day. How could he compare with Yu Qian, who had no money left to die.

Lu didn't care about these things and turned the topic back, "Your uncle is clean and honest, but fortunately I can still make some money here, and I have earned money in the restaurant these days... But this betrothal gift is a bit thin..."

Qian Zheng sneered and snorted: "I'm afraid I can't give this betrothal gift."

"What does it mean?" Lu looked at her husband, then at her nephew who had no expression.

"The old lady of the Xu family invited you to burn incense twice, and Yuan'er asked for your excuse to push you." Qian Zheng glanced at Qian Yuan from the corner of his eyes and continued, "Don't look at how to continue to deliver this and that every day, but these days it was delivered by a restaurant. Do you think he has been in the kitchen?"

Qian Zheng had long felt something was wrong. Since the first time I looked at the incense, Qian Yuan was lukewarm with the Xu family. Every time he wanted to ask what happened, his nephew always said to wait a little longer, wait a little longer.

Lu hesitated and looked at Qian Yuan, "Yuan'er..."

Qian Yuan grinned at his uncle who was still guessing whether he was right, "Let's talk about the results later."

"By the way, my uncle, the Xu family needs to measure the size of the park, so let them measure it."

Qian Yuan doesn't care about this. Anyway, their Xu family can use it in the end.

Before preparing to do one thing, Qian Yuan always makes various plans. For such an important thing, he has listed at least five plans.

But first of all, the identity of a Jinshi is a bargaining chip, and a bargaining chip with great weight.

Only by winning the Jinshi can you participate in the power competition and distribution of interests. Only by winning the Jinshi can you officially take the stage.

Although there are also plans to fail the exam, Qian Yuan still hopes to have the best of both worlds.

Because of Qian Yuan's undecisive attitude, Qian Zheng and his wife were really empty, but the place they were discussing was at ease.

"It is best to win the Jinshi. Even if you fail, you will be twenty years old. You can afford it." Lu whispered to his daughter in the inner room: "Just wait for the day of the election. If you fail, you will be the next day. If you pass, you will wait for the palace examination to be released."

"I understand." Xu Can nodded and smiled, "If you pass the Jinshi, you will be a second-class Jinshi or a third-class Jinshi. Whether you can be selected as a Shujishi is different."

"You, if you have to think clearly about this in the future, you will say that the second-class Jinshi, the third-class Jinshi... why don't you say the first-class Jinshi?" Zhang poked his daughter's forehead.

Xu Can smiled and said, "My daughter asked her father... It's a pity that it's not Tang and Song dynasties."

"Um?"

"If it were during the Tang and Song dynasties, maybe they could really win the top scholar with those poems." Xu Can whispered: "My father had an aide, the one named Zhao... I have read those poems and said that even in the Tang and Song dynasties, it would be a temporary choice."

Of course it is a temporary choice, and it is the best poems in the next few hundred years...

Xu Can's cheeks flushed slightly, and he continued, "I also said... it was a good story for a while."

These days, Xu's mansion sent half a poem or half a poem. Qian Yuan added a wonderful writing and sent him some poems and lyrics. Of course, someone in Xu's mansion could also make up for it.

After hearing this, Zhang couldn't help but frown. His daughter, I knew that she was stupid. You really thought it was written by you!

After thinking about it in his mind, Zhang asked in a low voice: "That girl has been quiet these days, haven't you ever been to find you?"

"I've been here, I'll come every three or two days, have tea and chat." Xu Can thought for a while, "I'm just as hilarious as before, nothing special."

Zhang was alert in his heart. There was nothing special about it, which meant that there was something wrong.
